Alcohol And Your Blood

Does alcohol make you turn red? How does a breathalyser work? How would you know if you’re drinking too much, and where can you get support? In this episode, we learn all about how alcohol effects the body from Dr Jeremy Hayllar. He demonstrates how a breathalyser works, explains how alcohol affects your brain and memory and offers tips for people wanting to rethink how they drink. As the clinical director of the Alcohol and drug information service (Adis), he provides insight into alcohol dependence and the ways in which the service can help people to manage their drinking.  For information or support for yourself or someone close to you, visit Adis.
